With the inevitability of lockdown measures being eased, many of us could soon find ourselves having to make the busy commute back to our workplaces.

The Government has advised commuters to consider all other forms of transport before using public transport, meaning increasing numbers of people are looking for safe, reliable and quick modes of transport during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Car-sharing, cycling and walking have all been discussed when it comes to commuters or travellers getting from A to B, but one solution has been missed, and that’s powered two-wheelers.

Motorcyclists across the world already know the benefits of two wheels - they’re affordable, economical and can help ease congestion. However, the list of advantages has been expanded even further now that being socially distanced is high on people’s agendas. Now, choosing two-wheels is a safer alternative to public transport as it allows individuals to remain isolated and at a safe distance from others outside of their households, while enjoying the freedom of the road and having a little fun in the process.

The article below explains some of the basics of motorcycle design and aerodynamics to help you understand how and why a motorcycle works in the way it does. All of which is great to get you started on your journey to #UnlockYourFreedom with a Honda motorcycle.

Right, sit up straight and pay attention. Er… you at the back, stop gazing out of the window and day-dreaming about riding your bike.

Ok, everyone get your pens and notepads ready as we begin the Bennetts BikeSocial Motorcycling Home School. The good news is two-fold; there is no such thing as detention and you will enjoy the homework.

Since schools have been closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve all become familiar with the term ‘home schooling’, even non-parents, and there’s an abundance of lessons for subjects like maths, geography and history available on the internet, but nothing like the Motorcycle Class.

So, each day Bennetts with support from Honda is bringing motorcycling to life with a short, entertaining and easy to understand explanation of a motorbike, it’s components and how both outside influences and rider adjustments can affect the balance, control, grip and stability of the bike.

Journalist and former racer, Adam ‘Chad’ Child, plays the role of teacher and, while practising safe social distancing, explains the nuances of aerodynamics, traction control, rake and trail as well as what a CBT is, the affect of a pillion on weight distribution and how tyres work among other subject matters. The intention is Chad’s own 6-year old son can understand these basic motorcycle lessons and therefore we encourage a new generation to get involved with the most incredible form of transport.

If only school was as interesting as this when we were younger. Here’s the link to lesson planner, updated daily.
